Hydromaniac Hydrating Dewy Foundation

Urban Decay Hydromaniac Hydrating Dewy Foundation sits closer to a tinted moisturiser than a traditional base: medium coverage, a natural dewy finish, and hydration built into the formula. Urban Decay rates the wear at up to 24 hours and lists it as vegan and noncomedogenic.

Finish	Natural, dewy glow
Formulation	Liquid
Key ingredients	Kombucha filtrate (detoxifies, nourishes) · marula oil (protects, hydrates)

What it actually does

• Hydrates while it covers. Urban Decay positions it as a lightweight tinted moisturiser foundation that leaves skin feeling very hydrated rather than drawn tight.
• Gives medium coverage you can build. One layer evens things out; adding more product increases the coverage without jumping straight to full.
• Blurs pores. The brand describes a blurring effect that minimises the appearance of pores under the finish.
• Finishes like skin, not makeup. The dewy glow is aimed at a no-makeup makeup result rather than a flat, matte mask.
• Holds up to 24 hours. That is the brand's stated wear time for the formula.
• Carries nourishing ingredients. Kombucha filtrate and marula oil are the two Urban Decay highlights — the first to detoxify and nourish, the second to protect and hydrate.

Brand-reported study: in a 281-person study, Urban Decay reports 85% said skin looks glowing and fresh all day. Self-reported figure from the brand's own research — individual experience varies.

How to use

1. Apply with your fingers. Start at the centre of the face and blend outward, building to the coverage you want.
2. Go further with a brush. For more coverage, add product and diffuse it with a brush — a little goes a long way here.
3. Sheer it out. Urban Decay suggests mixing it with All Nighter Face Primer (sold separately) for an extra-sheer glow and added staying power.

Questions

Is it a foundation or a tinted moisturiser?

Urban Decay describes it both ways — a dewy foundation with medium coverage that behaves like a lightweight tinted moisturiser. In practice it sits between the two: more coverage than a tint, lighter feel than a full base.

Will it clog my pores?

The brand lists the formula as noncomedogenic, meaning it is formulated not to block pores. If your skin is highly reactive, trying it on a small area first is still sensible.

How do I get more coverage out of it?

Add a little more product and work it in with a brush rather than fingers. The brand notes that a small amount goes a long way, so build gradually instead of starting heavy.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Shades held in stock arrive soonest; anything sourced for your order takes longer. Weekends and official holidays do not count.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets. There is no cash on delivery.

Can I return it if the shade is wrong?

Unfortunately not — returns cover defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery. Verified refunds go to the original payment method within 15–30 days. Message us before ordering if you want help matching a shade.
